Bearcat Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Post your La-5 (Series 8) skins in this thread
SOLIDKREATE Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) La-5, Pilot Francisco Merono Pellicer, Tactical No. Unknown, 960th IAP "Alexander Chekalin", 1943 - nothing to write home about just a simple skin La-5 906th FR Alexander Chekalin 1943.zip Edited January 13, 2015 by SPEKTRE76 7
FlatSpinMan Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 But nothing to write home about simple skins are ideal because that's what they really flew. The aces' planes are great, too, of course, but the everyman birds have an important part to play.
Danziger Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Yeah most of the time I actually prefer the more simple skins. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of awesome paint schemes with graphics and things, I just like to look like the "average Ivan" pilot from whatever unit. In my Il-2 DBW install, I usually use non-marked skins and the default game markings. I tend to shy away from over-the-top "Red Baron" type paint jobs. Edited December 28, 2014 by possumkiller
HR_Tofolo Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Very nice, however I thought it was from the 960 IAP, the spanish regiment, and flown by pilot Francisco Meroño and his comrades. Thanks for your work, this was in my "to-do" list.
senseispcc Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Why are all this Soviet skins so dirty?!
Danziger Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Because the white paint used to do the winter schemes was a washable paint that could be easily removed again for the summer. So it was probably easier to get rubbed and chipped off.
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Why are all this Soviet skins so dirty?! In addition to what Possumkiller wrote, all the little bits of ice and snow left on the engine housing would melt when the engine was warming up, and the water would wash away the paint. Unlike the proper German or Russian regulation aeroplane paint, the white wash was porous (in order to be as mat as possible), making all kind of dirt stick to it. If you tried to was off all the dirt, the white paint would come off too.

Thanks for your work, this was in my "to-do" list. Oh the name is the name of the unit. They named it in honor of him. I'm not to keen on Russian units yet. The guy said it was the 960th Fighter Regiment is all.

I did this remark already in the original skins so do not feel criticized but planes should be clean to fly correctly. Edited December 29, 2014 by senseispcc
Yakdriver Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 "should" is the key word.maybe the mechanics had no time to clean them up... sometimes under arty fire, sometimes hungry and weak - or drunk...I have never seen war nor have i been in the army - but there must be a BIG gap between "how to follow official guidelines for material use and maintenance" and "just make it fly!"

79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Is this true even for the normal camo?! The green or grey ones?! I did write "all" not only the white ones! I did this remark already in the original skins so do not feel criticized but planes should be clean to fly correctly. To some degree it is, but the white winter camo is meant to be washable with water. I used that stuff in the army. Come spring time, a water hose and a brush would take it off. Any polishing and scrubbing will weaken the paint and make it chip, even the aerolacks, but much, much slower. As a rule of thumb, the more glossy paints are the more resistant.

BlitzPigVoidcracker Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks, Iceman, the La-5 is indeed a bit neglected for historical Russian skins.

Yankee_One Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Iceman, are you kidding me? (another beautifull skin) Respect, very nice. Keep up your great work.
Luger1969 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi iceman very very nice. Many thanks as always. This one also looks good. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/la5/chkalov/chkalow84.html

This one also looks good. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/la5/chkalov/chkalow84.html Yes ,you righ. It's a very nice skin, but it is already placed in the game. Just unlock it only in the campaign.
Luger1969 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 So it is Iceman. Went again to look at the unlocks the Kostylev skin x2 is a high point also. Interesting the Osprey title Russian Aces of World War 2 features the kostylev skin and a Ivan Kohzedub (62 victories) white 75 from 1943/4. I was unaware that Kohzedub also flew the "normal" La 5.
